. . . declarer will ruff, cash spadeAK, cross to clubQ and ruff dummy's last diamond. After returning to dummy with heartK, West's last trump is drawn with spadeQ and a club led from the dummy. This allows South to score both club10 and heartA to secure ten tricks. If East insists in winning clubA at trick two, he should return a heart, or better, a trump. South no longer has the entries to reverse the dummy and the contract fails.
